Tape around the marked line and carefully cut the con-
trol arm slot with the Dremel tool and 1/16 cutter, be-
ing very careful not to punch through the top of the
elevator surface. You should find a wood reinforce-
ment block in the elevator as you cut the slot. Make
sure the positioning of the horns is identical in both
elevators.
Drill the hole in the control horn with a #32 bit and
then rough up the gluing surface.
Using generous amounts of V-poxy, glue the control
horn in the slot. Make sure the horn is positioned ver-
tically with the hole over the hinge line. Make sure the
position of the arms in both elevators is identical.
Form nice fillets around the horns, carefully peel the
tape and set aside to dry.
Add pushrods. Their length should be approximately
3 inches. Secure position of clevis and ball link with
locking nut. Make sure the vertical position of the
servo arm is identical on both elevators.
Throw should be right at 30 mm, measured at the in-
ner end of the elevator.
Tape, inject glue and make nice fillet around each arm. Remove tape
before glue sets up.
Stab is now complete and ready for mounting.
